Boba Rhett Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I can't keep going on like this. A few days ago I gathered up the nerve to try out Lucid dreaming again. For those of you who don't remember the thread where I talked about lucid dreaming, long story short, lucid dreaming and me don't mix. Anyway, since the lucid "incident" a few days ago I've only been getting about two ours sleep every day and I just can't cope with that. I'm afraid I'm gonna crash, really hard, soon. I don't want that to happen, so I desperately need some solutions to my problem. Btw, it's 5:12am here. Any ideas on how I can get myself to sleep? I need help!

Surfnshannon Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I work graveyard! Yuck. So while some of you are sleeping...I'm up reading the forums and supposidly working. So as you can imagine I have to sleep during the day! Yikes. There is NOTHING harder than sleeping when everyone is awake and u have to sleep! Here's some solutions: If you are over 21 drink a beer or a winecooler they make you sleepy. Watch tv for only an hour - only something that is on for a half hour and not too intense Read Lye in bed and wait to fall asleep. Reflect on what you did that day. I know these are gay ideas - but most of the time they work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Go out and do sports. Go play football with friends or just simply jog for a few hours. The point is to make you very tired... it'll be easier to get to sleep after that. Another thing is to have patience. Wait for at least two hours lying in your bed, lights out. If after two hours you're still not sleeping...then go outside and spend more energy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Uhm ... I had that with the pentacost weekend. It was nice spring weather and I was on a camping ... and really tired. But I couldn't stay in bed for longer than than 4 hours ... because i was bored to death trying to get some sleep. It's no fun that when at 1.30 am you're the most tired person on the whole camp (I rowed a little toooo much that evening), you go to bed and wake up 5.30 am ... still the most tired person on the whole camp. Sleeping home was my sollution. Feel home at your bed, make it comfertable. Read a book, listen to some relaxing music. Make sure it's not too hot in your room, get rid of muskitoes ... just do everything to make it nice. Or try doing homework ... get's me sleepy all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Watch a movie that u have already seen recentely twice, or something like that.

Eets Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Yeah, like crazy dog said.. or sort of anyway. Go to the doctor and ask if he has any ideas on how to help you sleep (e.g. sleeping pills) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoo Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Lie there and listen to easy-listening music (very quitly), while reading a halfway dull novel . (not starwars) That or wait for the huge crash and pick up the pieces afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sithcloak Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Have you tried counting sheep? Seriously I don't know because when ever I have the problem I never solve it. I just eventually go to sleep. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavyarms Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 or listen to a radio, with music, like someone suggested, or sports talk. I fall asleep with that on very loud nightly. It is so loud, my parents sometimes can't hear the news ALso, since we are into sleep drugs, try benadryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29832 there's the lucid deraming thread. IT TOOK ME A HALF HOUR TO FIND IT FOR YOU! Anyways, how DO you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 Good find, Heavyarms. I thought that thread was pretty cool. To answer your question, It varies for everyone. There's no definite way for any person to do it. I've always just been able to literally tell myself to do it. There are some tricks to make yourself lucid dream. I think I wrote about some in that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryllith Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Course, if you're not married then you just have to find somebody else's beautiful wife. (There's even the potential for more action which could leave you more exhausted.) Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd like a lucid dream one of these days;) Just read until you're tired and can't read anymore. I always do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
